POISONED BY ARSENIC.
A Somewhat Singular Case at Falls Vii.
iage in Hancock County.
ELLSWORTH, Nav 26.

ELLLswoRTH, May 26.
There is mysterious case of poisoning at
Ellsworth Falls Village. Three men, a faith
er and two sons, by the name of Giles, have
for a considerable time shown unmstakable
signs of arsenic poisoning. rhe oldest son
died, Wednesday, and the father now lies at
the point Of death, while the other son is fail
ing fast. A probably theory is that the poi
son was Paris green, which came from the
the potatoes used by the family. Doctors
Phillips and Patten have made an autopsy,
but the result has not been given to the pub
lie.
The Giles poisoning case at Ellsworth
Falls remains great mystery. The autopsy
reveals internal congestion of the stomach,
indicative of arsenic poisoning. The chemi-
cal analysis is not yet completed. The parts
taken from the body have been sent abroad
for chemical analysis. The poisoned men
were first taken sic!, in March, and all the
symptoms strongly indicated arsenic poison
ing. The two living are somewhat improved,
Though the poisoning can't be accounted for
it is considered purely accidental.

General BOulanger's Opinion.

PARIS, MAY &c.
In an interview published in the Voltsire
yesterday General Boulsnger is represented
as saying that if he were omitted from the
Cabinet he simply would return to his old
place in the army. The suspicious of ulterior
motives on his part he said were absurd and
an insult to his patriotism. When he took
the war portfolio he found that France had
been asleep for fifteen years. He awakened
her to a sense of her dignity and the moral
effect had been a revival of military ardor in
the provinces far from the frontier. "The
army nnder my guidance" he added. "has
shown no undue desire for war. | do not
fear to say that we are ready but there are no
proofs that have ever cOurted war
